Comprehensive Eye Health Exams

Performing our thorough comprehensive eye health exams is just one of the ways we’ve earned the trust of the Peru community over the years. We consistently perform detailed eye exams to ensure your eyes are healthy and your vision is comfortable and clear. We’ll make sure your prescription is precise by looking for the early signs of any vision-threatening conditions before they can cause any lasting damage.

Pediatric Eye Health Exams

Your child’s eyes are still developing, which means their vision is constantly changing. Our eye doctors are trained to evaluate the unique vision needs of children during our pediatric eye health exams. During these exams, we can detect any age-specific conditions and get them fitted with corrective eyewear to help them clearly and comfortably experience the world around them.

Contact Lens Exams

If you’re interested in wearing contact lenses,
you’ll need a contact lens exam to ensure you receive the most accurate vision prescription. Your contact lens prescription differs from that of your glasses, so we’ll precisely measure the shape of your eyes to determine which corrective lenses will provide you with maximum comfort and clarity.
